Hidden Histories - Appledore
North Devon Moving Image worked with children from Appledore Primary School in North Devon to create a series of short films inspired by James Ravilious's photographs in the Beaford Archive.
The children brought the old black and white photographs to life by recreating scenes as they imagined James Ravilious would have experienced them. The young film makers invited some local Appledorians into their school to look at the collection of photographs by James Ravilious taken in Appledore in the 1970s and 1980s and interviewed them about what they saw in the pictures and how looking at them made them feel. Then to create the films, the children dressed up as the characters from the photographs and acted out dramatic recreation of the scenes.
This project contributed to the Beaford Arts Hidden Histories community trail of Appledore. For more information visit the Beaford website www.beaford.org.
